The above reason is exactly why I would wait two or three months before ordering because I would put money on it the price will most certainly drop in Australia as well.
I think it would be short sighted to assume Bruce from AMD won't pass any discounts or Stern price drops on to the end buyer.
If you had purchased multiple brand new Sterns from Bruce you would certainly know that many people have been offered discounted prices other than AMD,s advertised Recco retail price, without even asking for a discount.
Often, delivery and shaker motor prices have been heavily discounted or even forfeited again without even asking for it.
It would be pretty hard to get those deals for anyone who publically bags AMD etc.
After sales service from Bruce is also excellent.
I would say to anyone thinking of buying a new pin from AMD, go into it with a open mind because they are very accomodating.
